Ok, looks like we're almost done. I will be posting up pics this weekend. Using the string + glue + metal wire really turns it from being just a seat cover into a retrim.

Jeez, my gf's parents must either love me or hate me by now, i've lived there for 3 weeks now.

I dunno about everyone else, but I can't make heads or tails of all the posts and different ways people have put their seats on.

JetDat is there any chance of getting some set of instructions or similar from UAT?

Cheers.

Im not sure if its me but the seat not look like they are flat..

what about the curves from the seat???

i guess seat covers are different from an actual interior shop...

but let me know if im wrong.. cause by looking at the Pics the curves are gone...

also just want to know when you sit into the seat does the actual material sink in? cause it dosent look like it stuck the the seat aswell..

Ozan and I put in an effort yesterday arvo and now the passenger seat is in my car - it looks unreal. Shouldn't take more than about 20 minutes per seat for my drivers & both his fronts.

Plan what you're doing, use the strings - crochet hooks are your friend.

Will post pics when done, probably next weekend.

Nice jonjon, I've found the seats are quite comfy and padded enough, but each to their own! Ozan & I will probably get a professional trimmer to do the door inners and parcel shelf.

Does anyone know of decent car upholsterers etc in Brisbane?

Hey Eddie, nice seats.

What colour is your car? Is it the stock silver?

I was trying to figure out what colour would be good for a silver car.

You wouldn't have a faraway pic of your car that shows the seats, do you?

After a mammoth effort, Ozan and my seats are done (pending a few little cleanup steps & replacing back seats).

They look the goods, I will upload some pics of work in progress & the completed product.

Depending how much I'm feeling like a perfectionist, I think I may redo the rear seat-back (the far driver's side strings) as they could line up a little nicer, but in general very happy with how it all went.

My niggle is that the embossing on the rear driver's side is imperfect, probably an inch or so offset so looks askew.

Final stage will involve the door trimmings and parcel shelf, and whatever else I think of if sufficient scrap material remains.

Cheers to Jetdat for organising the buy and Ozan for providing the workshop & extra set of hands where required.

I just want to say thanks to Arman (jetdat) for the awsome group buy.

Tops to you Arman!
